Depending on your level of fitness a 6lb ball or more will do the trick. If you don't happen to have one of these handy using a prop such as a hand weight or heavy book can do the trick. This circuit can be done for time intervals of about 30 seconds -1 minute each or about 8-10 reps of each exercise.
